Summer Melon

I grew this watermelon! Can you believe it? Are there any readers still with me who remember when I couldn’t grow a goddamned thing?

Granted, it’s comically small, but it’s as sweet as can be. Also, it wasn’t just me: the seedlings originally came from Waltham Fields already strong and healthy, and the school garden volunteers have done an excellent job watering the garden this summer. Go team!

I hope we have as much luck with the cantaloupes. Tuscan melons, rather. Those I grew from seed.
